Inner Fire was fixed and VwK doesn't produce enough damage to overcome it; i.e, this doesn't work - Marty





Ok! Ok!, we've had a few solo builds for glints challenge, the E/Me Obs Tank is flawless so unless if you donbt have the skills for that build, you may have for this. So yeah i got a very very easy x/rt or rt/x + player/hero Combo which works very well on NM and HM(w/rt only), I've also had some inpsiration from this thread by sethellington who made a thread based on this orignals threads purpose.


How It Works:
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill] + [skill]Quickening Zephyr[/skill] = Infinite [skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill] which will make you invincible when you have enough demage reduction, this can be done with added armor and damage reducing skills/stances/spells(excluding enchantments due to enchantment removel) i have set up some decent builds below which i believe all are working. Also with this build you will always be taking elemental dmg and your only defence is the armor you wear and skills, my other tip is to not bring caster weapons because they will use chaos storm on you,and instead bring a sheild and spear/sword/axe with +5 energy so you have reserve energy between VWK's.


Your Hero Skill Bar
16 Wilderness + 12 Expertise
[skill]Serpent's Quickness[/skill][skill]Quickening Zephyr[/skill][skill]Conflagration[/skill] or [skill]Greater Conflagration[/skill] and Possibly add in [skill]Winter[/skill] For some builds.
Note: Qz can chain itself but needs serpent's quickness to start it off, but if your running the ranger build you can use your own QZ to start the chain. Also you can add winter and mantra of the frost for the rit/me and me/rit


Your Skill Bar:

Warrior/Ritualist (140armor)
15 Strength + 12 Restoration
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill][skill]"I Will Avenge You!"[/skill][skill]Signet Of Stamina[/skill]
Note: Sentinel Insignia - also Use I will avenge you as soon as your in the center and all 4 dwarves are dead - HM guide - scroll down

Paragon/Ritualist (114armor+other reduction)
13 Motivation + 12 Restoration
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Energizing Chorus[/skill][skill]Signet of Aggression[/skill][skill]Mending Refrain[/skill]
Note: Herald's Insignia and r4+ norn, and charge your energizing chorus with signet

Ranger/Ritualist (124-139armor)
15 Wilderness + 12 Restoration
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Soothing Memories[/skill][skill]Storm Chaser[/skill][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill] and mabye [skill]Quickening Zephyr[/skill]
Note: Pyrebound Insignia's or if possible also add winter to you hero's bar and use frostbound insignia's, Set First QZ by your ranger so the QZ chain starts safer

Mesmer/Ritualist (110armor)
12 Fast Casting + 12 Restoration - rest on Inspiration
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Elemental Resistance[/skill]
Note: Herald's Insignia's Or Artificer's Insignia's and take 5 useless signets

Note: Herald's Insignia's and r4+ Norn, this can vary

Elementalist/Ritualist (104-138armor)
12 Earth + 12 Restoration + rest on Energy Storage
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Ward Against Elements[/skill]
Note: Use Pyromancer Insignia's or Hydromancer Insignia's with Winter

Quick Guide To Normal Mode:
Enter -> Flag hero/Friend by the end of the baby dragons left wing. Go right and wait untill the destroyers start atacking the rangers (they Usualy kill faster on right) Do Conflagration as soon as the dwarf's charge in. When the last dwarf ranger on your side is being attacked, hit SQ -> QZ on your ranger, and run in. You Should try and time it that when you get to the middle all dwarven rangers would have died that second and Qz is just up and rdy. Stop, VWK, refresh refresh...... and use your survival skills - stay still! Important: Keep refreshing SQ and QZ as soon as they get recharged. Enjoy
Hard Mode W/Rt Variant

15 Strength + 12 Restoration
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill][skill]Endure Pain[/skill][skill]"I Will Avenge You!"[/skill][skill]Signet Of Stamina[/skill] And If you want
Note: Do the same as in normal mode but start qz as the first dwarf ranger is being attacked and use endure pain as you run it and keep it up twice so you can withstand major spikes - watch vid to help yourself out as it is unlikely you will do it first time)

RotteN seemed to had done well with it

As long as you have a +5nrg axe so you can always use VwK, use IWAY once the last dwarf dies and you chain VwK and endure pain to survive the first 20 or so seconds, it's a piece of cake
Keep In Mind
Your Armor + Insignia is what realy important when it comes to equipment as you will be holding the ashes almost at all times, i just suggest lots of health on your swords/wands/shields etc and also +5 energy so when you come to renew Vengeful Was Khanhei you got reserve energy and health boost.

i got Question real quick. What is that Green Skill you have on your Bar. and is it Required?

That would be Alkar's Alchemical Acid, Dwarven skill.

It's not required, and it's usually something you don't want to use at all once the Destroyers have started taking damage, 'cause they'll tag you with vengeful weapon. With the AoE from AAA, you can one-hit kill yourself if you're unlucky, heh.

Since the damage in this build comes entirely from life-steal, you wouldn't even benefit from the cracked armor it causes. So, no need for it, unless you just want a mop-up skill for the last few stragglers.

On a side note, you it might be beneficial to have a Restoration staff with half skill recharge or better yet, a 16AR +10AR vs Lightning shield for the small time where VwK is down

It might help prevent sudden spikes

Heck, since your running 16 strength and 12 Restoration, it would be worth to go with ALL Sentinel insignias on your armor for the +20AR vs Elemental damage for the Lightning damage

EDIT: your point is acauly very very strong, i should have said that even though i usualy use my old knights insigs, sentinel would help alot (added to FP)

1. Its only a chance of recharge
2. It Depends on a title track which would have to be grinded to be more effective XD

so yeah i went through every single skill and just decided its waaay safe with the hero, and its more simple

after a few tries i can get HM down. I added lions comfort and took out vengeful weapon since i can't afford the energy for some reason.

Just make sure it goes Dolyak-Lions-Dolyak+Lions.

i got more than that from about 10 runs

Did you ID all of the merch food?

May be just bad luck, you should get more than 9 destroyer cores from 20 runs too, i average at 1-3 cores a run.

i personally tried a knights set and a sentinel set.

Sentinel is better, the absorption doesn't help that much against the caster's wands/spells.

i do this mostly for fun, not the cores or drops, don't really need either. Trying to master the timing is more fun then the drops lol. There were times when my health would drop to double digit and shoot back up to 700 in a few seconds. Its exciting

thanks for the build

I prefer doin it solo on NM with my ranger. HM is longer, more difficult and requires a hero. Also in HM you dont get more cores, only more golds.
